      Hi There, We have pfsence 2.0.3 at our office, with a IPSEC VPN to our Fortigate firewall at our data center. Office LAN is 192.168.1.0/24 with a single public IP address of 203.167.xxx.1, DC network behind the fortigate is 182.236.xxx.x/24

      When trying to connect to the public IP address of our office connection from the DC network, it does not work (and we need to be able todo this). I think this is because pfsence is expecting the traffic to be coming down the VPN, but its not? Or its routing is stuffed up some how?

      Any ideas on where to go with this one?

      Thanks,

      Simon

        Without posting the screenshots of your setting, no, not really any ideas. There's also debug mode for racoon for a reason. "It does not work" is not something to work with.

          Cool.. here are the VPN settings, and the VLAN, WAN and Floating rules as well. Will sort some debug logs of racoon as well.

          Thanks!
